A russian drone hit a residential area of Bucha district on the evening of 28 September. A house and the roof of the neighbouring one caught fire, and rescuers pulled two people from the rubble.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service of Kyiv region and the Kyiv regional military administration.

Firefighters put out a blaze covering more than 300 square metres. Both injured were taken to hospital with head injuries; one of them also has a broken collarbone.

In total, 10 sites were damaged in Bucha district over the day: private houses and an apartment block, vehicles and a disused farm. Across Kyiv region the figure is 22. The administration did not name the settlement that was hit.

The rescuers’ footage shows a ruined house, wrecked cars in the yard and medics treating the injured.

On the evening of 28 September a man in the district was also injured in an enemy attack. According to the head of the Kyiv regional military administration Tymur Tkachenko, he suffered shrapnel wounds to his legs and torso.

The same day a downed Shahed fell in the Irpin community. First deputy mayor Oleksandr Pashchynskyi said the drone came down in an uninhabited part of the community and nobody was hurt.

The impact left a crater and set about a hectare of open ground on fire. Pashchynskyi drew attention to how the drone had been equipped.

Once again, the enemy’s cynicism is striking. The warhead of this Shahed was packed with metal balls to cause additional fragmentation damage.

As a reminder, three people were killed in the previous day of attacks on Kyiv region, all of them in Bucha district.
